Default Have you replaced your HU?

I am curious about how many people have changed their HU...

I really want a better iPod interface, but I can't part with the clean look I have now... I just stumbled upon cardomain.com and wasn't at all impressed with the pics of what it is going to look like after (not to mention I am weary about loosing the steering wheel controls).

It is clear though a lot of people on that site don't have taste... or at least what I would consider taste... some of the stuff is real cheesy in my opinion.
Can you post some pics if you've replaced your HU and think it is a clean/prof install.

I actually just installed an Alpine a few days ago. I'm out of town right now, but I will definitely post some pics next week when I get home.

I'm still trying to figure out what a HU is.

Head unit? The thing that sticks into your dash and has all the ***** and buttons to control your music and other stuff. As distinct from speakers or amplifier or subwoofer or other stuff I don't even know about.

How's that for a technical explanation!

Why not just add a Dice Ipod connector and you can use all of the standard controls to control your ipod. I am using an AUDI-R from Dice and it works great.

the unit itself retails at 1000... with the dash kit, harness, antenna adapter, and sirius tuner, that added another couple hundred...

i do still have to get the steering wheel interface...
